Las Cosas Que Fuimos
Sucia elegancia
The Things We Were
We promised to take care of each other in sickness and in health
I'm afraid to wake up in the mornings because I know you're gone
And even though several years have passed, I can't get used to it
I get a lump in my throat when seagulls ask me who taught me to fly
They told me to be patient, I ended up in the emergency room
Together until old age, but it doesn't make sense
Because the scent of her absence still hurts me
I've already had to watch the windows break
When she packed her bags, when she promised to stay
What would it have cost you to give me a little affection?
You know very well what I lacked as a child
A full cupboard, an empty bedroom
All I have left of you is the place where you used to sleep
The petals fall without any wind blowing
Our garden rotted even though you watered it all the time
Hugs are routine; they no longer heal or harm
I kept everything we experienced in the reliquary
Promises fly away, the calendar takes them away
She thinks I caress other skins
But since he left, I've cut my hands
